It was indeed a great pleasure to see
the splendid community spirit shown
in puUing on our Christmas tree.
Everyone enjoyed doing their part. We
were amply repaid when we looked
into the happy faces about thA
on Sunday evening. It shows that
after all our interests are in common
and that when we work and pull to-
gcther we can accomplish wonders
wnicn win Dnnjr trrcat n easurn to u
all. We wish to thank evervone whn
helped to make this a splendid success.
We were glad indeed to see so many
in attendance from outside of Alliance.
Unfortunately the condition of th
roads kept many away. We have been
asked to keep the tree up until after
New Years and light it each night to
that those who could not come in run
do so any time this week and see the
tree.
While we gave out over 2.100 pack
ages we had about 200 left consisting
of candy, nuts. etc.. .so that anv nnn
living outside of Alliance who could
not come in- may do so and obtain a
package this week for each of their
children until they are all eiven awva.
Parents will call at the Chamber of
Commerce room's over Brennan's drug
store any time during the day.
In our Light and Water departments
many have come in and wanted to pay
their bills before the first of the month.
As you will remember we made ar
rangements in the middle of October
whereby the water anil light bills
would be due and payable on the first
of the month and the discount period
is up and including the 10th of the
month. It takes some little time to

Roy Hoffland, Homer Smith and the
Misses Marguerite Briggs and Louise
Oakes, of Antioch, attended the show
in Alliance Sunday night
a week later. The locomotive shops
under the new schedule will work forty
hours a week, that being the minimum
possible, under the rules.
The Burlington, like other western
roads, has a surplus of cars. Many
are standing idle. Therefore the need
for repairing is less urgent than m
seasons when cars are in demand. A
smaller force can be made to answer
winter requirements, especially while
traffic is very light Because of that
the force will be cut
In the locomotive shops it i3 deemed
best to reduce the number of hours
and wherever possible to keep the men
in the employ of the road, the result
will be that the men will work five
days a week.
The Burlington is one of the last
to announce winter retrenchment in its
shops. Several weeks ago the Union
Pacific reduced forces at a number of
shoo towns. The Milwaukee followed
with a big cut and the Missouri Paci
fic anounced that five of its largest
fchop plants would be closed for an in
definite period. The Rock Island re
duced forces. Other roads have cut
their forces preceding the holitlays.
The Burlington's cut was delayed until
the coming of the new year.
This will mean a considerable reduc
tion in car repair forces at all car shop

CHADRON POETS OUTCLASSED
Ever since the foolish challenge
flung at Alliance by Gatenby of Chad
ron, we have known that it was but a
question of time until the poets of Alli
ance, stung to action by the Jeers of
the poets of that town, would rrise
and wipe the earth with them. Here's
the first one to tell those misguided
nuts where they get off:
O Gatenby, O Gatenby,
Why did you do this thing?
Why fling that challenge out to us
That we our bards must bring
And meet in mental contest
In Prosody or poetry
Or any other thing
For in the realm of rhyming fantasy
Your Leo Lloyd is king.
He is supreme supernal in the wooing
of the muse
That gives to her enchanted one the
ability to use
The magic of their pencils to inscribe
for her in verse. '.
And in mighty realms of poetry
Make known their mental worth.
We weep that we are mortal
For ho mortal dares to tread
In the winding paths of poetry
Till your Leo is in bed.
So if I don't forget
I'll get up in the night
And make a mighty effort
To lick him in this fight
There comes a man from Chadron town
Apd bids us bold defiance
To challenge all, both great and
small, ,
In the whole town. Alliance.
To be most square and meet him fair
fair
To test our mental metal
That he may show that his Leo
Is away beyond our fettle.
Are we but colts or mental dolts
That we should fail to utter
But let this slam and monkey d
Push us into the gutter.
Arise ye bards, pull out your swords,
Of Mental vim and valor
Go out and fight in black and white'
And lick the silly blatter.
